Hip-hop star Nadia Nakai has won another top award.
Taking to social media, the rapper – who co-hosted the African Muzik Magazine Awards (Afrimmas) in Texas, US – shared the exciting news of bringing back the Best Female Southern African gong.
“I’m an Afrimma award winner. Thank you for my Best Female Southern African award. Winning Women in a Winning dress,” she wrote.
The other nominees were Ami Faku, Tamy Moyo, Mpho Sebina, DJ Zinhle, Sha Sha, Towela, Makhadzi and Tyla.
